where a bug shirt has meant the difference between life and death. Even 
in hot, humid climates we often record during the cooler part of the 
day. A good bug shirt, including bug mitts, is not too hot if it means 
that you can skip the repellent.

How do you handle wearing headphones, headlamps and so on? In or outside 
the mesh?

I'm normally in and out of the car numerous times in a evening. 
Headphones on and off lots, though I usually just keep the headlamp on.

On top of hot or not, that seems like the only other problem.
